Ahlfeld, Grant M. Buttermore, Louis E. Lefevre, Byron E. Miller, Jack L. Cohen, Vincent W. Vincentsen, Will- iam J. Corbet and Donald R. Maxwell. They also expressed appreciation in the work which Mr. Coventry did in the selection of candidates and in the disbursement of over $1 million in scholarships to over 1,900 Westfield High School students many of whom support today’s students by buying Pancake Day tickets. Mr. Conventry has been an active Free Mason for 48 years and advised the club that he plans to move to the Masonic Home in Burlington in June. Club President Dr. D. Michael Hart concluded the program by presenting Mr. Coventry with a metal bell mounted on a plinth inscribed with the names of all of the Westfield Rotary Club Presi- dents he had assisted. The service awards he has received from the Ro- tary are also noted on the plinth.
